Rent control is often sold as an affordability solution, but that’s not what this movement is really about. In this solo episode, Ron Phillips breaks down recent statements from New York City housing leadership that openly frame rent control as a tool to destroy asset value and weaken the real estate industry. Ron explains why this isn’t about helping renters, how government price-setting undermines private property rights, and why these ideas aren’t confined to big coastal cities. He also shares what investors and homeowners can do now to protect wealth and maintain control in an increasingly politicized housing landscape.
